EGGs-At the present time the market may
receipts continue heavy, There is a good
city demand while the shippers are taking all
the surplus stock. The prevailing price is
10c. A good many dealers are anticipating
lower prices when the interstate commerce
law goes into effect. The new law will
raise the rates between this point and the
Pacific coast from 81 .05 to $500. This will
tend to lower the market here unless there
should chance to be an advance in the Cali
fornia markets, as shippers will require
wider margins on which to ship.
